PLANET: Earth
YEAR: 3031
Manila International Airport, Philippines
THE plane had just landed and I immediately went outside. The airport terminal seems so hectic. After every announcement there's a sudden hustle and bustle. I noticed the constant movement of both people and planes and I saw how kids enjoy looking through the glass, maybe safekeeping this moment as a magical experience. My phone rang and I answered it.
"I already transferred the remuneration," I said.
"Good. The Mistress will be assigning you a new job next week."
"Copy." After I ended the call, I destroyed the phone and threw it at the nearest trashcan.
Bata pa lang ako ay inampon na ako ni Emilia Enriquez, kilala sya bilang isang sikat na businesswoman dito sa Pilipinas, ngunit para sa amin, mas kilala sya bilang Mistress Emilia- ang nasa likod ng Toxic Organization. Toxic Organization is famous because of its heinous crimes and evil acts, people hire us to steal and kill for them.
Nang makalabas ako sa airport, tinanggal ko ang aking sunglasses at hinanap si Hyacinth.
"ASTORIA!" Hinanap ko ang pinanggalingan ng boses and I immediately saw Hyacinth waving at me. Ngumiti ako at gumawa ng 'shh' sign. Tumungo ako sa kanya and I gave her a warm hug.
Astoria - it's the only thing that I can remember from my childhood. "I will be your mother from now on. Your real name is Astoria, but outside these walls, you're Fleur." Naalala kong sabi ni Mistress Emilia noon. Nalaman ko rin na hindi lang ako ang inampon niya, marami pala kami. Sumailalim kami sa iba't-ibang training ngunit hindi lahat ng mga bata ay naka-survive. Lahat ng mga kilos namin bilang agents sa Toxic Organization ay kabayaran sa ginawa niyang pagligtas sa amin.
"Ano ka ba! Baka may makarinig," I said to her.
I heard her laugh. Hyacinth has large brown eyes, thick eyebrows, narrow nose, small ears, full lips, and a mid-back length hair. I glanced at her features and saw a bruise on her neck and cheek. Nakuha niya ata sa recent mission niya.
"Welcome back, Fleur, Assassin of the Year," she said.
I laughed at her remark. "Stop it. Where's our ride?" tanong ko. Iginiya niya ako patungo sa kotse at sumakay na kami.
Patungo kami sa aming apartment. When you become an official agent of the organization, pwede ka ng hindi mag-stay sa headquarters ng organisasyon. After naming matanggap ang balita na official agents na kami ni Hyacinth, we decided to keep in touch. We're basically sisters at heart. We rented an apartment and we're staying there for almost 5 years. Pero hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon nandoon kami dahil maraming misyon ang ibinibigay ni Mistress Emilia sa amin.
"How's Shibuya?" She asked.
Nanggaling ako sa Japan kung saan isinagawa ko ang misyon na nakaatas sa akin at ito ay ang pagpatay ng isang VIP. "As you can see, I'm well and still breathing." I answered her. "Ikaw?"
I heard she scored big time dahil napatay niya ang leader ng isang renowned mercenary group sa Kenya. She must be getting her promotion soon. "It was tough but nakayanan naman. I will be assigned to a new task next week. . . Umm, I was thinking . . ."
"Ano?"
"Hindi ka ba na-cu-curious kung sino at ano ang pangalan ng ating mga magulang? I mean-"
Bago pa sya matapos sa kanyang sasabihin ay inunahan ko na sya.
"You better stop right there. We owe our lives to the Mistress," I said.
The atmosphere changed suddenly.
